In 2008, Joe Budden reached out to Royce, Crooked, Joell and Nino Bless to get them all together for a track called “Slaughterhouse” on his 2008 album Halfway House. After seeing the chemistry that appeared between them, they decided to keep making music together, which led to the forming of the supergroup Slaughterhouse, named after the track that braught them all together.
